Mayor Rust,

March 14, 2013

As you may know, Cape Vincent Wind Power, LLC, a subsidiary ofBP
Wind Energy North America Inc., is proposing to build a 200-285 megawatt wind
farm (the "Project") in the Towns of Cape Vincent and Lyme. It has
come to our attention that one of the proposed routes for the generator interconnection
line for the Project runs approximately 450 yards along County Road 179 in the
Village ofChaumont. For ease of reference we have included a map that depicts
this possible generator tie line route.

We are in the process of applying for a Certificate of
Environmental Compatibility and Public Need under
Arltcle 10 of the Public Service Law. In accordance with the Article
10 process there are several items to which we wanted to draw to your
attention. To date, the only significant document that we have filed in
connection with this Project is our Public Involvement Program (PIP) plan and a
copy of this

document is enclosed for your further reference. Please note
that this and other documents related to the Article 10 application for this
Project are also accessible at a dedicated project website: www.capevincentwindfarrn.com
and on a website maintained by the Department of Public Service:

We have added the Village to our list
of stakeholders to receive future mailings, correspondence, and Project updates.
Additionally, as a municipality in which a portion of the Project may be
located, youwill be
added to the list of parties that will receive the preliminary scoping
statement and applications whenthey are filed.

The
Article 10 permitting process provides "intervenor funds" for
qualified recipients to hireexperts to review the application. In this respect, the Village
will be eligible for intervenor funding and Ihave included some additional information on this (which is also
available on the above referencedwebsites) that may be of assistance to you.

As you will see in the PIP, we are
reaching out to many different entities, however if you believewe should be including
other local community groups or entities in our outreach please let us know.

We have included some Project fact
sheets as well as some information on the Article 10 processfor your consideration
(these are also available on the capevincentwindfarm.com website). Finally, shouldyou have any comments or
concerns on the Project we would welcome your input and I will be reachingout directly to you to
discuss the same .

Hudson Energy filed a public involvement document with the Public Service Commission (PSC) on 6/16/15.

The approval process is now under Article 10 of the Public Service Law. The case number is 15-F-0327 and the matter # is 15-01278.

The attorney handling the case is Andrea Cerbin.

Her phone number is (518) 408-1441.

The link to the PSC site is below. On that site you will find Hudson Energy's preliminary Public Involvement Program (PIP) and the PSC response (they found it inadequate on several issues). In it you will see that the proposed transmission lines go south to Oswego.
